I offer two scything related services.
The first of these is scything lessons. Scything is not like using a shovel. You cannot just intuitively do it with any success. Three hours is about what it takes to properly learn how to adjust, sharpen, repair and mow with your scythe. Classes are $75 for three hours and take place at my home.
I also make custom-fitted scythe handles. These take advantage of the natural curves of saplings to form handles that are stronger, better adjusted to your body and more ergonomic than most mass-produced handles you can buy. I charge $50 for these, and they are built around your body and scythe blade, a process that usually takes an hour. Fittings always take place at my home. Often, people have a handle fitted at the same time as a lesson.
Please be in touch if you are interested in a scything lesson or handle.
